About You

I routinely had horrible experiences with doctors because of bias due to my sexuality. Maze is a uniquely professional group of medical personal, which unlike similar practices still has a caring human touch. If you are reading this, and are trying to make a decision whether or not to seek treatment, my advice to you would be to call this office and schedule a detailed consultation. Dr. Werner and I agreed I would start testosterone injections. I went to my primary care doctor who confirmed that my testosterone level was extremely low. After a thorough evaluation, I began a treatment plan that included Testosterone Pellets. My doctor suspected an issue with low testosterone and referred me to Dr. Werner.
Treatment with testosterone therapy may help reduce symptoms. Testosterone levels also naturally drop with age. If the results suggest you have a testosterone deficiency, you may be referred to an endocrinologist, a specialist in hormone problems. Your GP may also order a blood test to measure your testosterone levels. They'll ask about your work and personal life to see if your symptoms may be caused by a mental health issue, such as stress or anxiety. The "male menopause" (sometimes called the andropause) is an unhelpful term sometimes used in the media.
Our approach to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) integrates medical, metabolic, and mental health so you can feel stronger, sharper, and more in control of your life. In our hands, testosterone levels always rise, and in our experience 95% of men feel dramatically better—with stronger energy, focus, libido, and overall vitality. Although testosterone levels fall as men age, the decline is steady at about 1% a year from around the age of 30 to 40, and this is unlikely to cause any problems in itself.
By the age of 50-55, many men observe more noticeable symptoms. In contrast, men do not experience a universal reproductive "stop date." For that reason, I do not prefer terms like "manopause" or "menopause for men." Don't accept diminished quality of life as inevitable," says Stephen A. Ferrara, DNP, who has spent decades treating patients in men's health and primary care. "These changes are normal, common, and manageable, but you need to take proactive steps to address them. This approach — one of compassion, medical sophistication and an openness to new techniques — extends to each individual area of our practice. Led by Michael A. Werner, MD, a board-certified urologist specializing in sexual and reproductive health, Maze has always focused on making a difference in people’s lives. At Maze Men’s Health, all TRT patients are monitored regularly with lab testing, physical evaluations, and follow-up visits.
It examines those factors that put them at risk for a variety of health problems, and explains the important measures that can be taken to reduce risk and live a longer, healthier life. "But TRT won't suddenly turn back the clock. A healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and a positive outlook are the keys to a healthy life." Sleep apnea, a condition in which you stop breathing for short periods while asleep, also can lower testosterone levels. Most testosterone release occurs during sleep, particularly while dreaming (known as the rapid eye movement stage).
These results will guide dosage adjustments for optimal results while minimizing potential risks. The right treatment plan depends on symptom severity, overall health status, and individual preferences. These changes affect physical and mental well-being in ways that significantly reduce quality of life. The Endocrine Society guidelines emphasize the importance of patient outcomes when considering treatment options for men with low testosterone. Medical professionals will also conduct a physical examination and collect a detailed medical history. Keep in mind that TRT is not an anti-aging drug, despite what advertising might suggest.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy TRT restores hormone balance, enhancing mood, focus, and overall well-being so you feel your best every day.

I had always considered myself a little moody, lacking energy, feeling a bit depressed at times and not having a strong sex drive. He had a great experience so I figured I would give it a try. However the treatment plan he and another specialist provided did not give me the results I wanted. I knew something was off so I visited my primary care doctor who diagnosed me with low testosterone. My assumptions were on target about Maze being a gay friendly medical office. I was hesitant to seek treatment for my condition.
